What Are CIPC Annual Returns?

Every registered company, close corporation, and co-operative in South Africa must file CIPC annual returns each year. The Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC) requires this filing to confirm your business is still active and operating.

When Are CIPC Annual Returns Due?

Your annual return is due within 30 business days of your company’s registration anniversary month. For instance, if CIPC registered your company in March, you must file your annual return by the end of April each year. Missing this deadline triggers penalties that increase every month.

What Happens If You Don’t File?

Failing to file your CIPC annual returns leads to serious consequences. First, CIPC charges late filing penalties that grow monthly. Furthermore, your company loses its “In Good Standing” status, which prevents you from opening bank accounts, applying for government tenders, or accessing business loans. After two consecutive years without filing, CIPC begins the deregistration process. As a result, your company could be permanently removed from the register.

Why File Your CIPC Annual Returns on Time?

Late filing affects every part of your business. Here’s what’s at stake.

🏦

Bank Accounts & Loans

Banks require your company to be “In Good Standing” with CIPC. Without a current annual return, you cannot open business bank accounts or access business loans.

📋

Government Tenders

Tender applications require a CIPC compliance certificate. Consequently, you cannot bid on government tenders if your annual returns are outstanding.

⚠️

Penalties & Deregistration

CIPC charges late filing penalties that accumulate monthly. After two years, CIPC begins deregistration proceedings. As a result, your company could be permanently struck off.

Outstanding Annual Returns From Previous Years?

Catching Up on Multiple Years

Many businesses fall behind on their CIPC annual returns without realising it. If you have multiple outstanding years, we file each year’s return for R250 per year. For example, if you have 3 outstanding annual returns, the total cost is R750.

Company Already Deregistered?

If CIPC has already deregistered your company due to unpaid annual returns, you need to apply for reinstatement. We handle this process through our Activate Deregistered Company service (R1,490). This includes filing all outstanding annual returns, submitting the CoR40.5 reinstatement application, and following up with CIPC until your company is active again.

About CIPC Annual Returns

How much does it cost to file CIPC annual returns?

We charge R250 per annual return, which includes the CIPC filing fee, company status check, portal submission, and filing confirmation document. There are no hidden costs. If you have multiple outstanding years, each year costs R250.

Your annual return is due within 30 business days of your company’s registration anniversary month. For example, if your company was registered in June, your annual return must be filed by the end of July each year. We offer a free reminder service so you never miss your deadline.

What happens if I miss the annual return deadline?

CIPC charges late filing penalties that increase every month. Your company also loses its “In Good Standing” status. After two consecutive years without filing, CIPC begins the deregistration process. However, we can still file late returns — contact us as soon as possible to minimise penalties.
